Well, my 97 Sc300 was hit by a drunk driver. Picked up a 92 Sc300 in manual. Now doing 97 conversion to it.

I searched and was able to find a 5 speed sc300 in Mobile. My friend and I towed the car back to auburn. The car was in pretty rough shape; both doors wont open, busted glass, messed up door handles, and an interior of which seemed like a Lion has lounged in there for days. The car wont stay running for then 2-3 min. Later on to find out it was a faulty ecu fuel pump. Fixed that and have a great running Sc300.

Plans....install my 97+ conversion, wheels, alignment, ice, and possibly NA-T??

This is how it looked like when I first got it. Stupid of me not to take any interior shots.





Start taking parts off my old Sc300...



This is how she looks...



Got rid of the wheel gap as well with some Supra KYB AGX and Tein springs...



Installed Daizen steering rack bushing as well. Stock were totally shot, didnt have any rubber bushing in there at all!

This is what my 97 used to look like

 

man i live in pensacola i drove out and saw this same car!!!!! wow what an improvement!!! keep going and good job.

 

Saw that one on craigslist too!!! Nice pick up.

 

NA-T is for fools . How do you like the daizen bushings? Do they help?

 

brah me too... well sorta im stationed somewhere else, but hopefully gettin out soon and go back!

on topic, wow, great improvement. what about your wheels? did they get damaged? or in process of switching em over to your 92?

 

Looks like you found a decent motor... Nice one!

 

damn i love that color on the SC..your '97 that is. and the rims are also awesome. good job bringing back the '92 though. how many miles are on her? if you want na-t make sure the engine is really good shape. any pics of the crash?

 

Great pickup and looks a heck of alot better than when you first picked it up. Good luck with your upcoming projects. I hope your a Bama fan, even though you live in Auburn.. Roll Tide.. :-)

 

I'm so glad you didn't get it! What threw you off? Yeah, I love that wheel and color combo. I downgraded a couple of years, but tradeoff is a manual and no leaking steering rack. Daizen bushing fixed my steering. I can drive safely on the road now.

I go to school in auburn, but not a fan of football.

 

Sneak peek...18x9.5 , 18x10 22 offset...

 

yayyy, wheel buddies! Sorry to hear about the 97 but I'm sure you will make do with the 92

 

Its always awesome to see a beater SC being brought back to its former glory! Good work, can't wait to see the finished car!

 

awesome project! i feel the same.... i didnt have a 97 or anything but i had a perfect 93 absolutely nothing wrong on it and i crashed it.... now dealing with new 93 project thats not so perfect. lol good luck with your project dont forget to post pics i wanna see

 

new parts...na-t


found old pic of really used up steering rack bushing...it was really dangerous driving this thing around at the time...

 

coming along great man..
